I just started my period and i dont know what to do? PLease give me some tips! im clueless!?

Answer 1

Go speak to your mother/father or caretaker. They should know that this has started for any future health concerns. They will be able to point you in th direction of what you should do next.

Answer 2

The important thing is not to panic-it is perfectly normal. Talk to your mom or an older sister or cousin to get you supplies and shower daily. Their are lots of websites that give you practical advice and help you with the specific questions you ca also check out books like "Have you Started Yet and Are You There God It's Me Margret" to better understand the emotions and how to be prepared in the event of "emergency" Periods are unpredictable the first year or so - so you may want to carry pads or tampons in your purse or backpack in a small case for discretion and if ever you have a friend in need. It happens to every girl and just means you are heading towards physical maturity-don't feel obliged to rush anything else-one step at a time.

HI!
Welcome to WOMANHOOD!
Please follow the below link so you can have a better understanding of what to expect.
Hang in there.


Menarche

Your first menstrual period is called menarche. It usually happens around age 12 but may start as early as age 9. Menarche is a sign you are growing up and becoming a woman. Along with starting your period, your body is changing. You've begun to develop breasts, pubic hair, and underarm hair, and your hips have begun to widen. Menarche also means that if you have sex, you can get pregnant. You can even get pregnant in the month before your first period starts.

Starting your period
In the days before you start your period you may feel tense or emotional. You may gain water weight and feel bloated. You may have pain (cramps) in your abdomen, back, or legs that lasts a few hours or more. Your breasts may be tender, and your face may break out.

When you start your period, you'll notice a spot of blood on your underwear or when you use the bathroom. The flow of blood from your vagina is usually light at first and may get heavier for a few days before tapering off. The blood may be a brownish color at first and then turn brighter red. Your period will usually last 3 to 7 days each month.

Ask your mom, a health professional, or a woman you trust for advice on using feminine products for the bleeding, such as tampons or pads. Tampons fit inside your vagina and are good to use when swimming or doing other physical activities. Pads have adhesive strips on them that stick to your underwear, and you'll need to change them regularly. Having a period won't prevent you from doing any of the activities you normally do, and no one will be able to tell when you're having one.

If you have cramps with your period, regular exercise, a heating pad, a warm bath, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, ketoprofen, and naproxen may help. If you are younger than 20, do not take aspirin. Aspirin increases the risk of Reye's syndrome, a disease that affects the brain and liver. If these treatments don't help, talk to your doctor about prescription medications.

Answer 4

There isn't much for you to do, it's natural. Go get yourself some maxi pads or teen tampons. The directions for the tampons are in the box. The tampons are much more comfortable then the pads and they are not messy.
If you have cramps then take a dose of Ibuprofen...not Tylenol even though that will work if you don't have Ibuprofen. If you need anymore help you can email me.

Answer 5

Talk to your mom, female teachers,relatives or girlfriends. They've been there and can give you lots of insights on the types of feminine pads, tampons products that's available in the market. The first time I had my period it was the most uncomfortable moments in my life, but it gets better as times goes by.
